I was sitting in my home yesterday with a friend and I described how ordinary and simple true awakening is. I kept describing that it is "just this", "just this simple this" and he responded by saying, "Yes but that's just too simple, that's just nothing" and I responded, "Precisely. Just simple, just nothing. Just this. Absolutely nothing fancy, just this, just nothing. Simply life the way it is. Simply you, the way you are." We were discussing "spaces" and how, many spiritual seekers and spiritual groups become masters of creating and resting in false realness or spaces that just feel really good. I was just saying that the real thing might not actually feel good. It might be super uncomfortable and even painful, there are no guarantees. Realness is just real, it is not guaranteed to feel amazing. The guarantee is that it is real and it is you. It is not some space created by you or even achieved by you. It is just you. It may be blissful, it may be painful. It may look enlightened and it may look highly unenlightened, the only guarantee is that it is real and you. Namaste
